Just before the most awaited Game Developer’s Conference, Intel had just made their introductory teasing targeted for gaming enthusiasts to take on their next rig upgrade with the 4th-generation Haswell processor.

Hidden on its monstrous moniker of “Devil Canyon”, the 4th-gen Core-i7 Extreme Edition CPU will sports eight unlocked cores and 16 threads which is ultimately powerful than the previous 6-core Haswell model. As a latest chip, it can now support the new memory standard DDR4 that’s capable of faster transfer speed and improved energy efficiency.
